Job Description:
We are seeking a Sr. Process Engineer to support mechanical assembly and production operations within a highly automated manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on large mechanical systems, production-line assemblies, equipment troubleshooting, and continuous process improvement.

The selected engineer will initially train on the day shift for approximately one month before transitioning to the night shift (4:00 PM 12:00 AM).

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and support mechanical assembly activities on the production floor.

• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, prints, CAD files, and assembly documentation.

• Troubleshoot large mechanical systems, automated equipment, downtime events, and recurring production issues.

• Monitor OEE, yield, cycle time, downtime, and other manufacturing performance metrics.

• Identify production bottlenecks and implement process and equipment improvements.

• Improve assembly methods, process flow, operator ergonomics, equipment reliability, and overall production efficiency.

• Review CAD designs and provide actionable feedback to engineering and system design teams.

• Document overnight issues and provide clear handoffs to day-shift Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams.

Job Requirements:

• Strong hands-on Process Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering experience in a production environment.

• Experience with mechanical assembly lines, large mechanical systems, or automated manufacturing equipment.

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, engineering prints, and CAD documentation.

• Experience with OEE, cycle time, yield, downtime, throughput, or similar manufacturing metrics.

• Experience with continuous improvement and process optimization.

• Ability to work independently and lead engineering activities during the night shift.

• Strong cross-functional communication skills.

• AutoCAD experience is a plus.

• Battery, energy storage, automotive/EV, heavy industrial, or automated manufacturing experience is highly desirable.

• Must be able to provide recent client references.
